The UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Martin Griffiths, said that the images of death and devastation following Israel's military operation in the Nuseirat refugee camp prove that each day this war continues, it only grows more horrific.
The operation resulted in the death of 210 and the injury of 400 Palestinian civilians on Saturday.
Griffiths wrote on his official X account: "Today, Nuseirat refugee camp is the epicentre of the seismic trauma that civilians in Gaza continue to suffer."
"Seeing shrouded bodies on the ground, we are reminded that nowhere is safe in Gaza. Seeing bloodied patients being treated on hospital floors, we are reminded that health care in Gaza is hanging by a thread," Griffiths noted.
Griffiths also added, "And even as four hostages are reunited with their families, we are reminded that scores are still being held captive. All of them must be released. All civilians must be protected. This collective agony can and must end now."
